Celestial Human Diagram

From the beginning to the middle of April, Chen Chuan had been seizing every moment to train in his dorm room.

He needed to quickly familiarize himself with and master the method Teacher Xue had taught him, hoping to reap greater rewards when the Celestial Gate opened.

Every day, he would summon Hong Fu to help refine his spirit with the Refining Method. Thanks to his formidable physical foundation and an abundant supply of resources, his Spiritual Power steadily increased. His Heart Jade grew more transparent and bright, no longer just a faint glimmer but gradually radiating a brilliant light.

At the same time, he didn’t neglect to polish his fundamentals.

He vividly remembered Teacher Xue’s warning: nurturing and refining must be given equal importance. The spirit, after all, resided within the body. The stronger the body, the more solid the spirit. Only a firm and stable foundation could support immense power.

And as his spirit progressed, he could faintly sense a barely perceptible barrier ahead of him.

That was likely the limit of the human body.

Once a Fighter reached it, their body and spirit could advance no further. Then, they would have to look back, fill in and eliminate all past flaws and weaknesses. After reaching a state with no deficiencies, they would be considered "perfectly polished."

However, every individual was different. Personal perfection was not the same as humanity’s true theoretical limit. The differences between individuals could be vast, perhaps even greater than the differences between some species.

His long-standing goal was to reach and even surpass this limit, and he had been constantly working toward it.

If the power of his Second Self could merge with his body again at some stage, then this goal would no longer be an unattainable dream, but a distinct possibility.

But he currently didn’t know what conditions were needed for the Second Self to merge with him again. ’Will it happen after I reach my own personal limit?’ he couldn’t help but wonder.

He felt it was possible. Only when he could no longer advance and was desperate to break through would his resonance with the Second Self reach its peak.

He would find out if that was the case when the time came.

While he was striving for daily progress, up on the seventy-second floor of the Profound Palace Building, in the Principal’s Assistant’s office, Assistant Ling was coordinating with various parties to make arrangements for the Wuyi teachers and students who held no official positions.

Wuyi Academy had also received a notice from the Central City Government. To deal with the Fumu’s splitting and reproduction, they needed to dispatch teachers and students from Wuyi to help the government maintain order on the day of the event.

Within Central City, Wuyi Academy was an institution with a large number of combat personnel. Aside from the Processing Bureau and the Defense Department, it had the highest concentration of elite Fighters.

All of Wuyi’s teachers were Third Limit Fighters. Furthermore, because the academy had ample resources, the strength of most teachers surpassed that of Fighters on the outside. If equipped with proper gear and weapons, they would represent an incredibly powerful deterrent force.

Therefore, during past Fumu splitting periods, Wuyi Academy had a record of cooperating with the government to maintain order in Central City on multiple occasions. It had become something of a tradition.

But this time, the situation was different. Besides the Fumu reproduction, the breach in the World Ring was also a massive hidden danger.

"This is a once-in-decades event. Of course, I’ll cooperate fully with the Central City Government," Assistant Ling said to the person on the other side of the Realm Token.

He had a smile on his face. This situation was highly beneficial for his upcoming plans—a perfect assist, one might say.

"Is everything set up on your end? Good. Just proceed according to plan. Don’t change anything. It’s not our time to act yet. We need to be patient with this."

"Yes, I’m keeping an eye out. Our goal can’t be accomplished by just the few of us. I’ll be looking for more suitable people to join us."

"Just wait. I told you, we need to be patient."

After the call ended, he waved his hand, pulling up photos of noteworthy teachers and students one by one. He paused briefly when he came to Chen Chuan’s, a playful smile on his face, before moving on to the next.

In his dorm, after finishing a day of training, Chen Chuan took a shower, came out, sat on the sofa with a hot drink, and contacted Manager Zhuang from Wing Blade Company.

Half a month had passed. He had been so busy with his training these days that he only checked on Chaoming’s condition every five or six days. Now that a few more days had gone by, he wondered how things were.

"Mr. Chen, your pet’s various physiological indexes are all stable. Its Mutated Organization is growing in the direction you selected."

"We need to observe it for another two to three months. If the Mutated Organization shows no signs of aberration or sluggishness, then there won’t be any more problems."

Manager Zhuang said with a smile, "Barring any accidents, it will grow into a powerful combat creature."

Chen Chuan nodded. ’Two to three months... By then, the Fumu reproduction period will be over no matter what. It looks like Chaoming won’t be able to make it for this fight.’

’But as things stand, with the Celestial Gate opening, the situation will be chaotic and unpredictable. There’s no need to involve Chaoming when it isn’t fully combat-ready. It’s better for it to stay here.’

He said, "Then I’ll have to trouble your company to take good care of it. I might be busy with some things recently, so I won’t be able to visit often."

Manager Zhuang chuckled and said, "We understand. The client’s needs always come first. Not to mention, Mr. Chen, you’re using our internal protocol channel. Rest assured, Mr. Chen, no matter how the situation outside changes, we will do everything possible to protect our clients’ interests."

"Thank you, then."

After ending the conversation, Chen Chuan took another sip of his hot drink and gazed at the distant view outside his window.

For the past several days, whenever he took the special medicine, he would pay attention to the changes in the Spiritual Domain above. He noticed that the black spots on the barrier surrounding Central City were gradually increasing, and the entire thing had become extremely unstable.

Although it seemed to be holding on for now, the splitting period was drawing very near.

’I just don’t know if the Central City Government will try to delay it or proactively push it forward. If it were me, I’d definitely move it up to prevent all parties from making full preparations. But it’s hard to say for Central City. In the end, it’s the council and the government who make the decisions, and they might not have the guts to make that call.’

After some thought, he tapped his Realm Token and logged into the Fringe Channel.

He hadn’t gone out these past few days, so most of his information about the outside world came from here. The most discussed topic on the platform recently was the many famous foreign Fighters who had come to Central City, with users comparing and evaluating their strengths.

The Fringe Channel had secret connections with some mercenary platforms, so some of its information was indeed very well-informed and reliable. He also suspected that officials might be using this channel to gather intelligence.

Among them, two people were generating the most heat.

He glanced at the photo at the very top. It was a man with long golden hair tied in a ponytail. His build was solid and strong, and he was quite handsome and didn’t look very old. He was currently in the famous Kana Fist stance.

This person was named Delacroix, from the Abyen Strait Alliance Territory on the Western Continent. He was the owner of a well-known private Fighter dojo and was quite famous internationally.

Because he was handsome, young, rich, and genuinely powerful, he was highly sought after. The comments about him were mixed, and the discussions surrounding him were the most intense.

Compared to him, however, another person received completely different treatment. The comments below were almost unanimously negative.

Chen Chuan noticed this person had a high brow ridge, a relatively narrow forehead, a hard jawline, and a weather-beaten face.

At a glance, he felt this person was likely a native of the Ying Continent. Looking down at the name and nationality, he saw it was Zomal from the Lynx Federation.

The name clearly had the distinct style of the Ying Continent’s First People.

He understood why the commenters were mocking and criticizing him so harshly. The Lynx Federation was fond of selecting children from the descendants of the First People, or those of mixed heritage, to enter their training camps. From a young age, they were brainwashed and trained to become spies or Fighters, then turned against their former compatriots.

And because their appearance was similar to that of the people of Dashun, the Lynx Federation often sent them to Dashun to carry out missions, which gave these individuals a terrible reputation.

Judging from the comments, this Zomal had caused trouble in Dashun before and was later pardoned and deported. Now he dared to show up so brazenly. The man was also being extremely high-profile, even asking people on the platform if they had missed him. It was no wonder the comments were filled with curses.

Chen Chuan looked at them. Whether it was these two or the other Fighters appearing on the platform, they all shared common traits: high visibility and great strength. They were all figures who could easily capture the public’s attention.

Therefore, he believed these people were likely being manipulated by certain factions, placed in the open to attract the attention of the Central City Government.

Normally, it would be fine. Active and inactive Consciousness Bodies would be responsible for surveillance, rendering any number of intruders useless. But right now, the most powerful active Consciousness Body was the one likely to have problems, and the large number of inactive Consciousness Bodies dependent on it might also be affected.

This would necessitate using a large amount of manpower for surveillance. But such resources were ultimately limited. If they focused their attention here, it would dilute their presence elsewhere.

Although the Central City Government strictly screened every Third Limit Fighter entering the city, many methods were not applicable under extraordinary circumstances.

’If I were them, I could hide outside the city, or even in the Lower City District, before the Fumu reproduction period. Then, when the Celestial Gate is about to open, I could slip into the city amidst the chaos. Even if Central City imposes a lockdown in advance, I don’t think it could completely stop these people.’

He thought for a moment. It seemed the situation he would have to face would be quite complex.

However...

Looking at the rows of photos and the Fighters in their various poses, he thought, ’No wonder Teacher Xue said I wouldn’t be short of opponents. If I get the chance, I’m actually looking forward to clashing with them.’
